No it is not diverse.

It never uses cheese. No cream. No use of herbs like basil, thyme, oregano. Rarely does it ever use techniques like roasting, baking, or anything ever to do with an oven.

Look, I like Korean. I just don't need that same flavor profile for 999 out of 1000 meals I my life and have someone else dictate the crap out of what goes into my mouth the majority of the time. I'm so tired of it.

Is she this controlling in all areas of your life? Tell her you’re going to alternate choosing restaurants. You can even write up a list so you can keep track! If she refuses, then it sounds like she isn’t a very good partner and you should divorce.

DH and I usually go back and forth and it takes us forever to decide what to order when we get takeout or go out. I would eat Asian food pretty much every time, though not always the same kind! But he likes pizza and burgers and BBQ. We can always find something we both agree on.

Oh I can ABSOLUTELY imagine it lmao

-married into a Korean family and I learned to speak the language, cook and eat all the food but gmafb, the K restaurants around here all serve pretty much the same stuff

I get it... but the menu at a Korean restaurant is more diverse than a menu at an Italian place. There's just more ingredients involved.

Anyway, my wife won't stop ordering pizza and boneless chicken wings and the kids love it. I will trade her for the wife that won't stop ordering Korean and we can decide later if it was a mistake.

Oh. You just want boring European food.

now we're getting somewhere—you've got a wife who is more sophisticated and it makes you angry... is this misogyny or just garden-variety anger at realizing you're the simple one?

Look, I like Korean food, don't get me wrong, but I just do not want to have it for the 1000th time in a row. Yes, I have utter contempt for my wife who gets to have 99% of the control over what goes into our mouths and what I get to eat for dinner. Maybe once in a while I want pizza? Maybe every so often I want something as simple as a damn burger? I love Middle Eastern, Turkish, Greek, etc. types of foods, but because she doesn't like it we are forced to never eating it. Meanwhile I let her have Korean 100% of the time whenever she wants even though it is probably ranked 15th on my list for most favorite types of cuisines.


I am getting sick of it to the point I am considering a divorce. Am I crazy? The controlling freak nature she has over my dietary choices has gotten intolerable. Maybe I want more food diversity in my life besides Asian food. I want to punch a hole through a wall I am so angry over this issue.

Yes. You sound crazy. Is she holding a gun to your head and forcing you to go eat Korean. Why don’t you say no I’m eating pizza have a good time are your meal. You sound either henpecked or immature. Use your words! The word no is a complete sentence. Is this even a real post?

He’s talking about when they go OUT to eat. Like a date night, I assume. Not when they order takeout.
She is obviously controlling and gets her way. He must not be able to stand up to her. So he’s venting here.
Wonder how else she controls him?

Takeout - you need to order from two places. Or abstain and eat something at home. Or go pick up what you want when you want it and offer to get something for her.

Restaurants - you need to tell her your feelings are hurt and she needs to be more flexible. I can't fathom why she can't accompany you to a pizza place once in a while.

Omg STFU.

European food has its own flavor profile. As does Korean, as does Japanese, as does American, as does Chinese. Maybe I simply want diversity from all over in my life rather than just the same staid flavors from Korea 99% of the time .

Lol, you act as if Korean food has this magical array of flavor. No it doesn't. Most of it is pickled or uses salt only or is covered in the same type of chili based sauce/flavor.

Thai is way more diverse than Korean, but we never get to try that too. There's nothing wrong with wanting 'boring' pizza one day, a burger the next, tacos another, Greek spanikopita, or an Argentinian grilled platter. Maybe you should be stop being such a narrow minded twit and simply enjoy the diversity of the cuisine on the planet rather than constantly only ever wanting something cooked in a wok or hot pot.

Why just divorce a food monogamist. You should make a humanitarian appeal to United Nations to force Korean dictator to take his sister back or bribe her gastroenterologist to alter her gut flora to hate Korean food or get a hypnotist/priest to get her out of this Korean food voodoo magic.

On a serious note, why not take turns or coin toss or just order from two different places and eat together?

Maybe the coin toss would work, but you don't know the person you're dealing with. Heads? Korean. Tails? Korean.

Wouldn't matter one bit..

Do you scream at your wife to STFU when she won’t let you eat more *checks notes* cream and basil?

Grow a pair and get some papa John’s for lunch if not getting enough *checks notes again and sighs* baking and flavorless cheese… is something that makes you so weepy.

10 percent chance it is - dude just needs more cream and he WILL cry if he doesn’t get it. 90 percent sure he’s made this poor woman’s life a living hell and now he’s trying to keep her from doing the one thing she enjoys. He’s an unhappy control freak or a cream aficionado.

[Anonymous]

She’s used to getting her way like a spoiled child. Nip it in the buds and set a fixed day for Korean. Don’t give in.
